WordPress maintenance – PHP, page caching and federation (unrelated)

TL;DR I solved some lingering issues with my blog (WordPress) that got on my nerves. 1. I upgraded PHP from 8.2x to 8.5, 2. I improved page responsiveness by installing page cache plugin (WP Supercache) and most important: 3. I fixed ActivityPub federation that I broke when I installed Anubis. 1.

Flushes the object cache.

@threadi @bekopharm Thanks! Is it really necessary to flush cache every day for AP to work correctly? I didn't have any issues until Anubis installation.
